The Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens
Large numbers are enchanted by spectacular winter light experience in the Japanese Gardens Tramore.
The Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens Tramore turned on their winter light display on the 21st of December with music from the High Hopes Choir. The gardens were brought to life with twinkling lights creating a magically walk from the 21st to the 31st December culminating in a New Year’s Eve celebration at 4pm. (New Year’s Eve in Japan). The ceremony began with the Tramore Ladies Choir, followed by the singing of Hallelujah by Sofija Salmanova accompanied by her mother Anna, there was also gong ringing by Keith Guinan and Sonomi Leslie.
This enchanted walk through the gardens really had to be seen to be believed. It began at the entrance with a laser beam display on Tramore House and a beautifully lit magnolia tree surrounded by candlelight and reindeer. The transition garden twinkled as you began your journey through the garden which led you to the grotto and a sparkling waterfall of light and music. Adults were mesmerised by the whole experience, while children screamed with delight as they made their way through this magical winter wonderland.

The winter light display was created by Every Event Waterford and run by the Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Garden staff.
